Constipation and bloating are often associated with diet and daily habits. A balanced diet can help prevent these issues, doctors told Svobodnaya Press.
Toxicologist Mikhail Kutishov stated that constipation often arises from a lack of fiber and fluids, a sedentary lifestyle, and the habit of suppressing the urge to use the restroom.
The specialist noted that bloating can be exacerbated by large food portions, carbonated drinks, eating quickly, sugary alcohols in sweets, an excess of certain fermentable carbohydrates, lactose intolerance, and gastrointestinal diseases.
Kinesiologist Mikhail Gavrikhin pointed out that constipation and bloating result from a lack of fiber and water, as well as a predominance of foods rich in fats and proteins.
"Rushing and eating on the go: swallowing air increases gas production; artificial sweeteners disrupt the microbiota," he said.
